What does Gareth Barry have to do?

[jimharri]

... to get national recognition? I swear, you ask people about Barry and 90% of the country will be adamant that he's shit. I've lost count of the number of games he's controlled for us, with tonight being the latest.

He is a tremendous player, knits our entire team together.

Keep it up Gaz!

There's still a fair few on here (alright; not 90%, but they do exist) who are of the same opinion.

He has been an England regular for a decade.

He is well recognised by true lovers of football.

He was great at Villa and is great for us.

I've been raving about him for months now. Another fantastic performance. He and Yaya totally dominant. An absolute to watch the pair of them play like that.

Change his name to Scott Parker.

Hes been brilliant all season domestically and warrants his starting place, what concerns me is up a level, horribly exposed in champs league due to lack of pace!

For fuck sake. Do we really need a new "Barry is underrated" thread EVERY week? We get it you think he is good and underrated by many no need to keep going on about it.

who gives a shite!? i'd rather he, (barry/milner/lescot/hart) all fit for our games. england is ran by bullshit and propaganda! (same as the rugby team was) it needs a full change of staff and get the youth in like, dare i say it, france! build for the future and in 10 years time we have a chance. otherwise, continue to blag people with half hearted managers who blow smoke up old players arses! (just my opinion of course) ;)

It's not long ago that he was resident boo boy on here.

I remember this, it does seem though under this seasons style of football a lot of opinions have changed.

But in saying that, Yaya, Aguero, Dzeko, (fill in the gap), get targeted by the boo boys on here if they have a bad game. A lot of reactions are knee-jerk. Thankfully Mancini is picking the first 11.

TBH England rushed him back at the world cup because he is such an influential player and the "will he wont he be fit in time" made me realise quite a lot of people rated him
